I binge at last night. I felt hunger pains, I panicked, and I ate. I was out of calories, and I basically just shoved whatever I could fit in my mouth in a 10 minute span. You can really do some damage.

Have you tried cutting sugar, or carbs? Ever since I got pregnant with my firstborn, I cope with low blood sugar or hunger pains really badly. I have found that cutting sugar out and carbs back literally take those impulses away. It is the strangest thing.
Kara,
Sometimes what you see as a "people" problem is a "situation" problem. Was there tempting food around the house? Have you been tempted all day and finally cracked at night? Also, what did you eat towards the end of the night. Francy cuts (lowers) carbs at night and eats a whole egg (the fat n protein keep you full) as her snack before bed. She used to be a person who would get up in the middle of the night and eat. This has helped tremendously along with not having certain trigger foods around. BUt if this was just a "moment of weakness" you have the right mentality. Start fresh!

Right, brush yourself off and get going:) How is your foot?
I was highly addicted to a controlled substance for many years. Last year, December 19, I quit cold turkey (fortunately it isn't something i need to survive... food addiction is harder in that regard). It was hard. It still is. But man is it worth it.
Keep fighting the good fight, and feel free to message me during any times of weakness.

Kara, as a binge eater myself, I know what you went through and I feel for you in my heart. When it's time to binge, your ability to reason marginalizes, and your ability to rationalize increases tremendously. And then when the binge starts, it's like a black out. One meal isn't enough.You know what you're doing is wrong, and you know you can't eat like this--so you rationalize it, and tell yourself you can eat this, this, and this, and then you can get right back on plan tomorrow.
It's a very all or nothing mentality.
There's nothing you can do about binges but recognize what triggers them and avoid them at all costs.
I'm proud of you for stopping it in its tracks. A 10 minute binge easily becomes an all night binge, and all night binge easily lasts until the next day, and the next day easily becomes next week. Stay strong.
